Plot synopsis

A film anthology, which consists of three novellas made after M. E. Saitykov-Shchedrin’s novel of the same name. «Pitiful Matryona»: A tragic story of a serf Matryona, who was married by force by her barinia. «Brother Fedos»: An open-hearted and merry young man Fedos comes to his relatives’ estate, but it turns out that he is unwanted in their house. «Vanka-Cain»: A barber Ivan, a joker and cheery fellow, incurs his landlady’s anger. But neither whipping, nor threatens, nor the decision to send him to recruits can break his life loving character.
